You can hide backend components, applications, or queues in the right-clicking menu for the component on the cross application flow map.

For applications monitored with the Java Agent, you can exclude a node from being resolved to a cross application flow by setting the following app agent node property to false:

support-cross-app-correlation= false

This property must be set in the downstream application and prevents calls from external apps registering as cross application flows.

You may choose to do this, for example, if you wanted the cross application call to be represented as a backend call in the calling applications flow map—and metric scheme—rather than as a call to another application. This ensures that metric data reflecting interactions with the tier in the external business application are retained as backend call metrics.
